2020-07-16 SM Agenda - Item 1 - Attachment 2 - Final Noosa Plan 2020 Parts 1-3

              (A)    Neighbourhood centres are small­scale centres that provide a limited array of basic, lower order needs including
                     convenience retail, local professional and community services. Existing centres are located in established suburbs
                     and are not anticipated to significantly expand. Neighbourhood centres are located at Swanbourne Way and Weyba
                     Road in Noosaville, Hilton Terrace and Noosa Outlook in Tewantin, Quamby Place in Noosa Heads, and Grasstree
                     Court in Sunrise Beach.

        (v)   Visitor Centres ­ Hastings Street, Gympie Terrace, Noosa North Shore, Sunshine Beach
              and Noosa Marina
              (A)    Visitor Centres are located at significant key tourist locations in Noosa Shire and include a mix of uses such as
                     accommodation, dining in the form of cafes and restaurants as well as complementary retail and leisure services to
                     meet the needs of tourists.
              (B)    Hastings Street, Noosa Heads, functions as the major visitor centre for Noosa Shire. It is predominantly mixed use
                     and caters for national and international tourists as well as the Noosa community and is the location of a number of
                     significant festivals and events for Noosa Shire. The extent of business premises in Hastings Street remains limited.
                     It includes a concentration of entertainment and dining uses such as cafes, bars and restaurants. These offer a
                     diversity of entertainment for visitors and locals, as well as provide evening and night activation to the area. The
                     expansion of, or increase in, the number of retail tenancies is not encouraged. Small intimate destination shops that
                     offer unique goods including locally made or designed products are desirable.
              (C)    Gympie Terrace, Noosaville, is also a major visitor centre for Noosa providing a more family­focused environment
                     adjacent to the Noosa River foreshore for visitors as well as the Noosa community. The centre has a mix of uses
                     including accommodation as well as local cafes, restaurants, leisure and recreation services focused on the river.
              (D)    Noosa North Shore is the gateway to the Great Sandy National Park and the World Heritage­listed Fraser Island.
                     Much of the area of Noosa North Shore is dedicated to conservation and access is by a ferry across the Noosa River
                     as it is not intended for a bridge to be constructed. Development is secondary to and dominated by the open space
                     setting with a very low intensity and scale. Accommodation and services for visitors are available in the Tourist
                     Accommodation zone and the Recreation and Open Space zone. There is no permanent residential living occurring
                     in these zones.
              (E)    Duke Street, Sunshine Beach and Noosa Marina offer a local level of visitor services with Sunshine Beach providing
                     some accommodation, restaurants and convenience shops servicing visitors and the Sunshine Beach community.
                     Noosa Marina has a river transport focus with some associated retail and restaurants and cafes with no
                     accommodation uses.

 (t)    Health and wellbeing uses are located, designed and operated to support community needs and to grow already established
        health and wellbeing clusters. This includes the growth of research and development within this sector.
 (u)    Industrial land is retained for industrial uses which generate employment and is protected from encroachment and impacts that
        may threaten the function, viability and expansion of these uses.
 (v)    Important agricultural areas, shown on the Agricultural Land Map in Schedule 2, are recognised for their contribution to a diverse
        economy, food security and good stewardship of the land for future generations. Agricultural lands are protected from
        encroachment and fragmentation from incompatible land uses.
 (w)    Rural enterprises provide a variety of services and employment opportunities and growth in traditional and emerging sectors are
        encouraged. These may include primary production, agribusiness, value adding, farm gate sales, cottage industries, artisans
        workshops and rural tourism.
 (x)    Tourism continues to be recognised as an important sector for the economy. Sustainable, low impact, nature­based tourism and
        rural tourism are supported. Key visitor areas include Hastings Street, Gympie Terrace, Noosa River, Tewantin Marina, Noosa
        National Park, Sunshine Beach, Peregian Beach, Noosa North Shore and the Hinterland.
 (y)    Key resource areas KRA 56 Ringtail Creek and KRA 57 Wahpunga Range Kin Kin and their respective haul routes are protected.
        Emphasis is on protecting these extractive resource areas from encroachment by sensitive land uses and from development
        which is incompatible with the existing and future extraction, processing and transportation of extractive resources. Extractive
        resource areas are identified on the Extractive Resources Overlay Maps in Schedule 2.
 (z)    Creative industries, culture and community activities are valued and contribute to the economy and social fabric of Noosa Shire.
        While many of these are born from home​­based enterprises, there are benefits in allowing them to cluster and concentrate in
        activity centres such as Noosa Junction where collaboration and growth are facilitated.
 Editor’s Note—Noosa North Shore is the area of Noosa Shire north of the Noosa River and is bounded by that river, the Pacific Ocean and the Shire’s
 northern boundary.
